it is with great sadness that I wish to share the following information, kindly transmitted by Prof. Kazumasa Wakamatsu, President of the Japanese Society for Pigment Cell Research (JSPCR):
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of JSPCR members, I am very sad to inform you that Professor Emeritus Yutaka Mishima of Kobe University passed away yesterday. He was 87 years old. He successively held the first president of IFPCS (1990-1993) and also the first president of JSPCR. He made a significant contribution to the society. I would like to say my sincere condolence for his death. It is very sad, but he lived a full and vibrant life indeed.
Best wishes,
Kazumasa Wakamatsu
President of JSPCR
Prof. Yutaka Mishima hosted the International Pigment Cell Conference (IPCC) in Kobe (Japan) in 1990 and was also Honorary Member of the European Society for Pigment Cell Research (ESPCR)
May he rest in peace.

A great loss to Pigment Cell Research. Certainly Dr. Mishima has made impressive contributions to Pigment Cell Research, and to the Federation as well.
My condolences to his family and to members of the JSPCR,
very sad to learn about this. I would like to express my most sincere condolences. I had occasion to meet professor Mishima during his visit in Naples and appreciated his high interest in science and great energy. Indeed a great loss to all the pigment cell community and our Federation.
All my condolences and sympathies for the japanese and world pigment cell community. Prof. Mishima was really an excepcional and unforgottable person. Full of activity and great scientific leader.
I am saddened to learn of Prof. Mishima’s passing. I remember him well, from his visit to Prof. King and myself in the USA, and from the IPCC in Kobe. He will be missed.
With thanks,
Rich
Richard A. Spritz, M.D.

Some of my non-Spanish colleagues asked me to make these #BIOTENTE #YouTube videos available to English-speaking people. Thus, I decided to add English subtitles to my videos. This is the first of them, where I show how to diagnose #coronavirus #COVID19 ⬇️

Last year, during the #COVID19 lockdown, I produced a series of popular science videos on basic topics in #Genetics I used #TENTE blocks (LEGO-like) to illustrate how DNA and RNA work. The video were recorded in Spanish. I made 14 videos tagged #BIOTENTE

Nunca está de más recordar que todos, tengamos el tipo de piel que tengamos, debemos protegernos del sol. Que no es natural tostarse al sol 🌞 ni broncearse. Que es una agresión a nuestra piel que puede tener consecuencias fatales. Aunque vivamos del turismo.
